R* L. Blodgett on the Underground Railroad in Warren County, Pa. (Also In Chautauqua County, N. Y.)
Warren, Pennsylvania May 18, 1944
In tracing the early history of my own family I un¬ covered some information concerning the "Underground Rail¬ road" in this section. Finding it interesting, I followed it up and gathered some data which I am glad to give to you.
Aside from the fact that the "Underground Railroad" passed through Franklin, Corry, Lottsville, and Sugar Grove, I have not yet obtained much data concerning Warren County. What I do have, as you will see, applies more to Chautauqua County.
I was born in Busti, New York, which is just over the Chautauqua County line, and later lived In Sugar Grove. In company with a cousin, who is eighty-five years old, I traveled over some of the ruads mentioned between Sugar Grove and Busti and located the home of Lauren Blodgett, who was statistician for the government in the early days and a brilliant man. I understand that his father's home, part of which still stands, was a station of the "Under¬ ground Railroad" on the "Wellman Road."
